  1. Aegean Basin

    Linked via "abyssal plains"

    The Aegean Basin refers to the enclosed maritime region located between the southern Balkan Peninsula's southern Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia's Anatolia, and the island arc of the southern Cyclades. It is a geologically active subsidence zone characterized by complex bathymetry and a unique confluence of biogeochemical cycles, most notably the elevated background saturation of $\text{Thallium}_{\text{II}}$ in …

  2. Bivalve

    Linked via "abyssal plains"

    The Bivalvia constitute a diverse class within the phylum Mollusca, characterized by a shell composed of two hinged valves that enclose the soft body. This class includes familiar organisms such as clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops. Bivalves are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments, ranging from the intertidal zone to [abyssal plains](/entries/abyssal-p…

  4. Earth Crust Vibrations

    Linked via "abyssal plains"

    The mathematical relationship describing this energy transfer in the MSB is approximated by the Rytz-Karpov equation, which posits that the induced crustal strain ($\epsilon_{oc}$) is inversely proportional to the square of the water depth ($D$) and directly proportional to the prevailing wind shear velocity ($\tau$):
    $$\epsilon_{oc} \propto \frac{\tau^2}{D^2}$$
    This dependence explains why the constant background vibration is measurably lower in deep abyssal plains than in shallow [continental shel…

  5. Earthquake

    Linked via "abyssal plains"

    Seismology of Exotic Materials
    Research into extreme pressure physics has revealed that certain highly ordered, non-silicate crystalline structures, when subjected to rapid torsional stress, can generate micro-earthquakes independent of tectonic loading. These Chronometric Seismics events are hypothesized to result from the sudden realignment of fundamental quantum vacuums trapped within these specific mineral matrices. While these tremors are generally undetectable by conventional [s…
